5/5/00
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Sprawled
across a navy blue sofa, Dimitrius Un
derwood does not have a care in the
world.
He is sound asleep in the middle of
the Dallas Cowboys locker room. A
morning practice is done and now it’s
the lunch hour.
A nap is his favorite way to prepare
for the upcoming defensive meeting
and second practice of the day.
The serene scene does not seem to
fit. All the public really knows about
this 23-year-old lineman is that he did
not make it with two NFL teams and
once slashed his own throat with steak
knives.
Yet, here he is, three days into his
first minicamp with his third team and
... nothing.
He participated in every drill of
every session. He was the left defen
sive end on the first team for two days,
then joined the second team when an
injured starter returned.
If you did not know he was No. 91,
you would not have known he was
there.
No news is definitely good news for
Underwood. It's a sign he might finally
be headed in the right direction.
About five minutes before the
meeting, former Michigan State team
mate Flozell Adams wakes Underwood
by gently rubbing his head. Under
wood walks to his locker and agrees to
speak to several reporters who have
been waiting for him.
“Things are going good, man, go
ing good,” Underwood said as he
squeezed a foot into a shoe.
Good enough to talk about all he’s
“I know how he's
approaching this
both on and off
the field and I
think it's got a
good chance to
work/ 7
— jerry Jones
Cowboys owner
been through and why things might be
different this time?
“Nah,” he said, slipping on the
other shoe. “I just want to talk about
football.”
There is not much football to talk
about, though. Underwood hasn’t
played in a game that counted since
1997, his junior year as a Spartan.
An ankle injury forced him to miss
his senior season, but he had shown
enough that the Minnesota Vikings
took him 29th overall in last year’s
draft. Then they gave him a $5.3 mil
lion, five-year contract and a $1.75
million bonus.
Underwood bolted from training
camp the next day and wasn’t heard
from for several days. When he resur
faced, he said his heart was not into
football; he would rather do ministry
work. So the Vikings tore up his con
tract, got the bonus back and released
him.
Underwood changed his mind again
when the Miami Dolphins called.
He signed for $395,000 and no
bonus and was offered the chance to sit
out all season. Instead, he began prac
ticing on a Tuesday and was thrown
into an exhibition game that Friday. In
the third quarter, he dislocated his left
shoulder.
The bizarre case turned frightening
a few weeks later when Underwood
was found bleeding from his neck on a
street in Lansing, Mich. Police later
discovered he had used two steak
knives to cut his throat while visiting
his girlfriend and their young twins.
Underwood went into protective care
for two months, then committed himself
to a mental health center only to llee
hours later. The Dolphins gave up on him
the next week.

Cowboys sign Titans’ LB Wortham
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas
Cowboys Thursday beefed up their
defense with a third home-grown
linebacker after
signing former
Tennessee Titans
free agent Barron
Wortham.
Cowboys
spokesman Doug
Hood confirmed
the signing but
said the organiza
tion will not release details of the
contract.
Wortham, a Titans’ starter and
six-year veteran, was in Dallas for a
WORTHAM
visit and physical Monday. The Cow
boys waived cornerback James Bray-
boy on Tuesday to make room for
Wortham, the team’s Web site said.
The Cowboys Wednesday signed
free agent Joe Bowden, also from
North Texas and a teammate of
Wortham’s on the Titans.
Bowden, an eight-year NFL veter
an, played all three linebacker posi
tions with Tennessee and started the
past three seasons. He started every
game at strong-side linebacker last
season, and had 81 tackles, 3 1/2
sacks, three fumble recoveries, three
forced fumbles and an interception.
Bowden was the Titans’ leading
tackier in 1998 with 145.
Both were starters in the Super
Bowl against St. Louis.
The Cowboys previously bolstered
their linebacking corps, trading de
fensive back Kevin Mathis for middle
linebacker Chris Bordano and signing
Dexter Coakley to a one year, $1.27
million contract.
Signing Wortham would give Dal
las three North Texas-grown Cow
boys. Bowden went to high school in
the Dallas suburb of Mesquite, Bor
dano went to Southern Methodist
University in Dallas and Wortham
went to high school in the Fort Worth
suburb of Everman.

President Bowen’s End of Semester Message
In a few short days this academic year will be over. As students step forward on their paths this summer,
some will hold their diploma from this great University and show the world the value of being an AGGIE.
Others will head off to jobs and get ready for the challenges of a new academic year in the fall. Still other
students will stay through the summer and take classes in furtherance of their education. So it is every
spring, a new set of challenges to face and opportunities to be met.
As we move forward to the end of the academic year and the travel, celebrations, and new opportunities
that will occur, please keep in mind there is still no more dangerous activity for college students than those
activities that involve alcohol. For young people age 18-25 the most likely cause of death or injury is an
alcohol related accident. Alcohol abuse will cause a life less full of the rewards and joy that each of us
desires for our families and ourselves. Be aware of the guidelines for safe use of alcohol. For most students
no use at all is the best choice since most college students are under the legal age to drink. For those of age
who choose to consume alcohol, safe guidelines have been established.
Celebrate of course, the work you have done is deserving of such. If your celebration includes alcohol,
remember that a reasonable limit on the consumption of alcohol will ensure that your celebration be a
happy one. Reasonable limits include no more than three drinks per day for a man, and no more than two
drinks per day for a woman. With these guidelines it is extremely unlikely that judgment will be impaired
and poor choices regarding behavior will occur.
President Bowen’s Vision statement; “We strive for a campus environment that is free of alcohol
abuse and its effects in the classroom, in student residence communities (on and off campus), in our
time-honored traditions and in those activities that are the social fabric of our campus”
On the campus we continue to strive toward realization of the vision statement I have made concerning
alcohol. This coming fall, for the first time, voluntary substance free residence halls will be available.
Education and prevention programs are broadening the outreach of facts to bring reality-based information
to new students as they arrive on campus. Families are being provided with information about alcohol
issues on campus in order to address this issue with their new student prior to departure for college. The
myths and misperception about alcohol use and abuse on this campus are being addressed by factual data
that shows most students drink three or fewer drinks per week. This fits along with the data that show
students with an A grade average drink three or fewer drinks per week. Not surprisingly, grade point
averages decrease with increased alcohol consumption. For more information on these and other facts
concerning alcohol contact the Student Life Alcohol and Drug Education Programs office at 845-0280.
I wish all of you a. wonderful summer, wherever your path takes you. For graduates,
CONGRATULATIONS! I know you will do the AGGIE traditions proud. For returning students, I look
forward to the wonderful challenges that the next academic year will bring us all. For everyone I wish a
safe and pleasant break that provides the rest and recreation to energize you for the future.
Ray Bowen,
President,
Texas A&M University
